    Re: Round 9 Discussion

    North are where we were in 2010 minus the results. They're in an interesting position and could play finals for the next two years without finishing any higher than 6-8 but they do not have enough class through the middle or run off half back to finish higher. They miss a player like Wells but he too is probably past it now.

    I can understand the frustration at Waite and Higgins but think it's a bit harsh on Petrie. He's been a fine player for a long time and a loyal servant.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

      The issue is that Dal Santo and Wells are icing on the cake types, as is Shaun.
      Going gets tough it's about Ziebell and swallow ( whom they do miss)
      It is similar to us in 2010, but I'd say they're further away than we are .

        Ziebell is a gun and was the only player to try and stem the tide yesterday - he should be their next captain.

            Our backline is criminally underrated by this system. We have 4 other players that play there too

              Dahlhaus has fallen out of the side, despite a very good performance.

                Would love to know the criteria for small forward selection; none of them (bar Betts) make sense.

                  That's weird isn't it.
                  They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                      Doesn't make sense to me. He was awesome on the weekend.
                      Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

                        "Geez, I wish I had Josh Hill in my team ahead of Luke Dahlhaus" said no one, ever.
                        Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                            I agree on both.

                            Bolt is one sad human being.

                              I would be having Dal over Bonts in that team as well as Chad and Hill. It looks like a who you are rather than how you are playing team to me.

                                Yeah. It's a bit silly Bont being in the team he hasn't played at his top for a few weeks now.
